This is the inspirational true story of Carlo Molinaro, born into a poor family in Italy during World War II. His father made him quit school by the second grade to work a job. Having no skills or schooling, Carlo worked his way up from bus boy to restaurant owner, motiviated by the words and guidance of his mother.
He worked at high-class restaurants and hotels throughout Europe, Bermuda, and the U.S., learning how to cook and from the chefs at those establishments. Along the way, he learned new languages and observed what worked and didn't work in these restaurants, waiting for the day he could save enough money to open his own restaurant.
After journeying to the United States, which he only knew from the westerns he watched as a boy, he finally arrived in Houston, Texas during the oil boom. He was able to open his own restaurant near the famous Galleria shopping area.
He kept his menu simple, serving rustic homestyle Italian meals using only the freshest ingredients. He treated every diner like family and built a loyal customer base. He ran the restaurant for over 28 years, until health issues forced him to close.
He decided to write a book to show readers that everyone can be successful in life, if they approach their opportunites with discipline and drive while showing respect and courtesy.

Описание:
Almost every teenager has dreamed of finding buried treasure at the beach. While accompanying Dee and Marty's mother and Lynn's mother on a business trip in Morgan's Cove, the Mystery Solvers find a treasure map inside an old seaweed-covered bottle near the beach. Thinking they've discovered a find of a lifetime, they set out to various shops to get more information about the history of the cove and what Pirates of Olde might have buried their treasures there in the past.
Their sleuthing questions, however, capture the attention of some modern day thieves who keep watchful eyes on the Mystery Solvers' activities. Soon the Mystery Solvers find themselves in harm's way and that some secrets are often best left buried. They are forced to consider the price of their lives over the potential worth of unknown treasure.

Love is a high-stakes game.
When Collin Callahan, British secret agent, goes up against math genius turned surfer bum Oliver Elliot, the battle is epic--and so is the attraction. They're pitted against each other in an exclusive, ultra-secret--and ultra-illegal--poker match in Gibraltar, but when players start dying and they could be next, they find a common goal: catch the killer before it's too late.
Evenly matched at poker and romance, they each wrestle personal demons that threaten to consume them as the stakes climb. It's an all-or-nothing gamble with both life and love on the line as they fight to be the last seven-card studs standing.
Previously published by Dreamspinner Press as Seven-Card Stud by Ava Drake, November 2016.

I would like to think of each chapter as a journey that involves the discovery and unveiling of how faith serves as a conduit by which we receive from God, how faith is a weapon against the fiery darts of the enemy, and how faith is the security seal that Christ will look for when He returns. Every word read will impart the spirit of faith and empower the reader to both believe and receive the impossible as they are brought into an awakening of unshakeable, undeniable, and unfeigned faith. This book is loaded with Scripture references and can therefore be used as a teaching tool for individuals or small groups who are looking to grow deeper in their faith. The last chapter includes a hallmark of personal testimonies of things I have both obtained and overcome by faith. I endeavor to encourage the reader to get back into the boxing ring, now armed with inside information on the opponent of setback and the "faith to combat every setback "
